Gambiaj.com – (DAKAR, Senegal) – Senegal’s financial judicial pool (PJF) is intensifying its crackdown on alleged financial misdeeds, in line with the accountability policy championed by the country’s new leadership. In the latest development, Amadou Sall, son of former President Macky Sall, and his associate, Karim Mbacké, have been summoned to appear for questioning on May 7, according to Senegalese judicial sources.

The investigation centers around suspicious financial transactions totaling ten billion CFA francs (approximately $16.5 million), which were flagged by Senegal’s National Financial Intelligence Unit (CENTIF).

The funds reportedly passed through the account of Woodrose Investment Lad, a company managed by Ndeye Seynabou Ndiaye, who was given power of attorney by Amadou Sall.

Sources close to Amadou Sall argue that the money originated from the sale of a piece of land gifted to him by his father, former President Macky Sall, a transaction allegedly facilitated by political ally Farba Ngom.

However, independent sources paint a more troubling picture, suggesting that Amadou Sall orchestrated a scheme to rapidly liquidate the asset and distance himself from the suspicious gift.

According to these sources, aware of the potential legal implications of holding such a property, Amadou Sall allegedly arranged for the land to be sold to Farba Ngom for ten billion CFA francs.

To conceal his direct involvement, he reportedly used his friend Karim Mbacké’s identification documents without his full understanding.

Mbacké, described as illiterate, was led to believe he was formalizing a personal gift from Sall, but his documents were instead used to complete the fraudulent land sale.

The deception became apparent three weeks ago when Amadou Sall, reportedly alarmed by the PJF’s intensifying probe, contacted Karim Mbacké and advised him to flee to avoid arrest.

Mbacké, maintaining his innocence, refused and expressed his desire to cooperate with authorities to clear his name.

This latest summons comes amid a broader investigation into the suspicious movement of 125 billion CFA francs. Several individuals, including Tahirou Sarr and Farba Ngom, are already in custody facing charges related to the diversion and misappropriation of public funds.

The PJF’s investigation signals the new government’s determination to hold those linked to past administrations accountable, irrespective of their political stature or familial ties.
